Who Is Mocking the Pence Rule Now?
American Thinker.com ^ | December 1, 2017 | Daniel John Sobieski

The chickens of the era of moral relativism are coming home to roost in the scandals that have rocked the studios of Hollywood, the green rooms of media moguls, and the cloak rooms of Congress. Are the cases of Matt Lauer, Harvey Weinstein, John Conyers, and Charlie Rose et al any surprise in an era where traditional marriage and fidelity to one spouse of the opposite sex have been under assault and routinely mocked?

We live in any age of transgendered restrooms, where transgendered athletes like Caitlyn Jenner are given courage awards by sports channels like ESPN. Harder work is done and truer courage shown every day by those who get married, stay married, stay in the body God gave them and withstand the mockery of a society that considers such people as fossils on the verge of extinction.

Vice President Mike Pence was roundly mocked for his rule that he would not travel, meet, or dine alone with a woman other than his wife. He saw that the best way not to be led into temptation is to not lead yourself into it and it is hard to get into trouble if the only woman you find yourself alone with is the woman you married, the mother of your children. That did not sit well in the age of gay marriage, transgendered people, and cohabitation as if marriage came with a warranty and was a commodity you could exchange if you were later not pleased:

Not too many years back there was an article I read where women were complaining that men in upper management were no longer willing to mentor young women because of sexual harassment claims. Women felt like they were being excluded unfairly. What man in his right mind would want to work side-by-side with a woman these days? One false claim and his career is toast.

No touching, ever. No meetings alone, no comments about appearance or anything not directly job related, and if possible, third party presence at any meetings along with video recording like police body cams. What a great America.

whatever, there is a lot of space on the continuum between the two extremes

The left insisted on sexualizing everything. Now they finally notice the consequences.

One can have a "Pence Rule" (it was called a Billy Graham rule for as long as I can remember) where one will not be alone with another woman, other than one's wife, under any controllable circumstances.

But false accusers are going to accuse. They will lie about it, in spite of one's rules to avoid the appearance of evil or provide a pretense for the charge.

One must fight back against false charges using all available tools. Jesus was lead mute before his accusers (Isaiah 53:7). But last I checked, I am not the lamb of God, but I do expect those who hate Jesus to hate me -- no servant is greater than his master.

10 Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high places. 13 Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; 15 And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; 16 Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. (Ephesians 6:10-17)

This is a battle call, not a plea to surrender.

The Pence rule is a good one to live by. Made that commitment to my wife years ago. Still stick to it today.

Pence Rule also makes sense as a way to avoid a false accusation.

Any man in a position of power who doesn’t follow the Pence rule these days is either a fool or a harasser.

The left’s insisting on sexualizing everything = Confused Crotch Culture. They’re so confused they’re unable to look down and see what they have between their legs. They don’t know where to urinate. They can’t distinguish between a vagina and an anus. And they want to lead our nation?

My favorite pastor says he doesn’t carry a cell phone. You want to call me, call my wife.

It is much worse than that.

Some years ago, a relative of mine who was attending the Naval Academy, related to me that a female classmate of his, whom he thought was a FRiend, accused him of “improper behavior,” whatever that means.

Turns out, she was trying to deflect official attention FRom the academic and military problems she was having, and falsely accused my Midshipman relative, an Eagle Scout, A-J Squared away young man, of this “thing.”

He was (painfully for him and his family) exonerated, but she was allowed to graduate and become a commissioned officer in the US Navy!

He will NEVER trust another female Naval Officer!

THAT, MY FREEPER FRIENDS, IS WHAT THIS INSANE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS IS DOING TO OUR SOCIETY!

I am trusting, that over time, President Trump will set things back on the path of FReedom, truth and the American Way!

MAGA
